TUNE OF THE WEEK FOR NOV. 11TH

[Paul Draper]

I nominate Mr. Chris Prieto to choose this week’s TOTW

[Chris Prieto]

I'm still deciding on a tune, will post this evening :)

[Chris Prieto]

Okay so after much thinking I'm going with Sally Come Up from Buckley 1868. I've never played it and it doesn't seem to be all over YouTube so I figure we can fix that. I will try and post sooner than I usually do.

[Paul Draper]

Cool. I’ve never played it either so it’ll be a new one...

[Rob Mohr]

You found a tune Paul doesn't know???!!! How deep in the archive did you have to find that?? LOL

I watched Tim's video from about 10 years ago. I noticed it's all hammer strokes, very little thumb. Although as I was feeling it out, it almost sets up to alternate finger-thumb...now it's got me thinking...

[Paul Draper]

Hi Tim -  I just found this:  https://jscholarship.library.jhu.edu/handle/1774.2/2085/discover

[Paul Draper]

Ignore that link. I had a page with sally come up, but that’s not the link...

I've written to the Levy site two or three times, pleading with them to fix their search engine so that their great collection can meet it's potential!

There is some good background on Sally Come Up at http://parlorsongs.com/issues/2008-12/thismonth/feature.php (you'll have to scroll.)

Wow!! Great info!!...working through Carlin's book, just when I thought I had a thorough  understanding of the touring scene of the time, I get something new. Fantastic!!
